Miami, FL (April 14, 2026) – The hit single “Sonríele,” included on Daddy Yankee’s latest album, “Lamento en Baile,” has become a viral phenomenon. The song has been used in over a million videos on the social media platform TikTok.
When he released the song in the summer of 2025, the global artist stated that it was not about a “return” to music, but rather about “connection.” And there is no doubt that he has achieved just that. Meanwhile, the official music video for “Sonríele” has already surpassed 70 million views on YouTube.
The Latin Recording Academy announced last week that the multi-Latin GRAMMY winner and multi-GRAMMY nominee will be named the 2026 Person of the Year.
Daddy Yankee will be honored at a private gala on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, in Las Vegas, as part of Latin GRAMMY Week. The tribute concert will feature renditions of his renowned repertoire performed by a variety of international artists and his closest friends.
